Default Anyone Heard from Leon Lately?

Has anyone heard from Leon in the last 24 hours?

There was a big explosion today (Monday), that completely leveled a house in Plano, and damaged some of the neighboring homes.

Leon blew up his house to collect the insurance money to make a big pre-war type collection purchase.

Allegedly...

If it was the rich side of town it may have been for a new reality show - IHOP - Insane Housewives of Plano!

I believe Dudley Do-Right is your man.

Leon is the "Face of the Hobby", not Honus

The other day someone pointed me to a quiet hobby chat board that I had never heard of. I spent a few mins skimming some of the posts and before too long it gets reduced to attacks towards this board and I think some of the members. Lots of inside jokes, I think, that I took to be mean spirited. Even saw a thread that appears to be mocking this one. Must be some drama I am not aware of that was before my time.

I don't know of the board you speak of but if they are reading this I will pose a challenge to that board to have a pre-war card collection contest. We'll find 3 impartial judges and start posting our wares on the contest thread. We can wager $500 and the winner gets to donate the proceeds to the charity of their choice. I'll leave it up to the members to decide the judging rules.

Everyone there is a member here, although one I believe is still banned and a couple don't post any more.
